It was my second time to Beijing last year. So, I had time to explore more about this city. I went to the Wildlife Park in Daxing. It was so exciting to have a close distance with those animals. And the fare is 80yuan includes two wonderful performances. Just have a visit there:)

Eco-tour is becoming more and more popular these year. Many people living in hustle and bustle choose to suburbs to spend their weekend during the fruit seasons. It is a good idea.I know that Daxing has watermelon and pear orchards, farm and mulberry garden.Any one here has been there before? Really appreciate for any experience shared here.
